ZK Nation, the driving force behind ZKsync, has responded to community doubts and concerns regarding the upcoming ZKsync airdrop. In a detailed explanation, the team outlined the eligibility criteria and the reasoning behind the airdrop distribution, aiming to ensure fairness and reward long-term commitment within the community.

The airdrop, set to distribute 3.675 billion ZK tokens to 695,232 wallets, has been divided into two categories: users and contributors. Users must bridge crypto-assets to the ZKsync Era and meet at least one of seven eligibility criteria, while contributors include developers, researchers, and community members who have contributed to the ZKsync protocol and ecosystem.

ZK Nation explained that the allocation formula considers the amount sent to ZKsync Era and the duration of asset holding, aiming to reward committed community members who have taken risks and explored the protocol. The team also clarified that transaction volume alone does not impact allocation size, and value scaling plays a significant role in rewarding long-term holders.

This response comes after community members expressed concerns over the airdrop distribution, leading to a drop in the project's Total Value Locked (TVL). By providing detailed explanations and eligibility criteria, ZK Nation aims to restore confidence in the airdrop and the ZKsync community.
